\"THE CASPIAN-HYRCAN ISTHMUS\" - THE KEY LINK IN THE \"STRABO ROAD\" AS A PART OF THE GREAT SILK ROAD

T. Sh. Khalilova

Abstract

In the article, relying on ancient written historical sources, cartographic, geological-geophysical and natural-climatic data, a new view on the ancient history of the Caspian Sea and near Caspian Oikumena have been proposed. It was determined that in ancient times the land isthmus separated the South Caspian depression from the Middle and Northern Caspian, which, as a result of changes in water level and tectonic processes, periodically submerged under water. Namely, this isthmus, in the opinion of the author was the same way from Asia to Europe, through the Caspian Sea, which Strabo wrote in his works.
